I take your point, but I wanted to convey to non-technical users that this technology is a major change rather than just a small "tweak" to their use of the internet (I'm sure Phorm would like us all to believe that their system is just like installing a really cool anti-phishing filter on our home PCs but without the hassle or inconvenience of having to make sure it's updated constantly)
It certainly wasn't my intention to elevate Phorm's system to being the next generation of www !!
